I think we have focus-click-through set to nil for a reason--it's
consistent with Windows, and it means users don't accidentally do
something when they give a window focus.  What isn't consistent with
Windows is when we give windows focus.  (setq
focus-windows-on-uniconify t) would help in that direction, and I'll
submit it as a patch.  Giving transients focus would also help... if
we can exclude zephyrs and the console.  sawfish doesn't have support
for that level of granularity unless we hack on the lisp a bit
(another user submitted a patch for that), but we may do that.
